Marc Gautschi, 32, had not been sure where his future would lie at the beginning of January. However, now he has found an agreement with the Biancoblù that will keep him in the Valascia for three more years. This season, the defenseman has put up eight assists in 36 games.

Furthermore, Christian Stucki, 22, will also stay part of Ambrì. The young forward returned to the Biancoblù this season, after he had spent a season with HC Ajoie in the NLB. Stucki's contract will run through 2017. He has currently three goals and five assists in 36 games to his name.

As already reported this morning, Lukas Lhotak is also going to stay faithful to his team. His contract has been extended for two years. He will thus also stay at the Valascia at least until the end of the 2016-17 season. (mso)
